SIGNALING DEVICE,

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 24, 1917.

- Application filed January 28, 1914. Serial No. 814,989.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AUGUST J. KLoNEoK, a citizen of the German Empire,having declared my intention to become a citizen of the United Statesand received my first citi-' zen papers, residing at New York, inthecounty of New York and State of New York, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Signaling Devices, of which the following isaspecification. I

This invention relates to signaling devices produce high frequencyelectrical oscillations with greater efficiency than those hitherto inuse.

A further object is to provide an apparatus and an arrangement ofelectric circuits for generating high frequency .currents, whereby aweak electric current induces powerful high frequency oscillations. 7Another object is to provide the apparatus with an arrangement ofelectric circuits for amplifying electric currents. The inventionconsists of certain novel features of electric circuits and combinations2 represents a tube of a suitable fied arrangement of of partshereinafter In the accompanying drawings are shown several arrangementsof electric circuits and,

apparatus; but it will be understood that I do not limit myself to thearrangements set forth, but consider myself at liberty to make suchchanges and alterations as may fall within the scope of the appendedclaims.

In the drawings, in which similar numerals designate similar parts;Figure 1 illustrates my apparatus with one form of electric circuits forgenerating high frequency currents, Fig. 2 illustrates the apparatuswith a modified arrangement of electric circuits. Fig. 3 illustrates theapparatus with another modielectric circuits, of which theinducing'current' of the transmitter excites the field magnet of theelectric generator and thereby changes the current flux through theoscillator.

By reference to the drawings, an incandescent lamp with an enlargedbulb,

vided to be heated and penetrable for gas in the heated condition,serving-to change the contents of the bulb; 3 an 4 are suitableelectrodes of metal plates or wires conveniently arranged within thebulb, having a conductor to the exterior, 5-is the blow out coil,provided within or M lhe coil 5 sets up a magnetic field perpento thatance-within the bulb described and more par- 7 'ticularly pointed out inthe claims.

1 represents metal, pro-.

beyond the htilb.

microphones, the numeral 9 represents the primary of an oscillationtransformer.

The operation of the oscillator is similar of the are,

.tery 6 the resultant electronic radiation from the heated filamentbreaks down the resistbetween electrodes 3 and 4, permitting current toflow in the nature of an are from one electrode to the other. Includedin the circuit of electrodes 3 and 4 and generator 7 is the coil 5,which when the arc current begins to flow sets up a magnetic fieldwithin the bulb in a direction perpendicular to the arc itself. Thisblows out the arc and the cycle is repeated, thussetting up a highfrequency current. The electromagnetic field, due to coil 5, may take ashort time to build up after the are between electrodes 3 and 4 hasbegun and when the coil 9 of the oscillation transformer is connected inshunt to the oscillator as in Fig. 1, the current to the transformer isdiminished through the radiation of current between the electrodes,while when the transformer 9 is connected in sewhich may be of the arctype, except that instead ries with the coil 5, the generator 7 andtheelectrode, as shown in Fig. 3, radiation causes the coil 9 of thetransformer to be energized. It will be obvious that the apparatus willamplify currents of any device whether that of a transmitter or of areceiving apparatus. Such instrument can be included in the circuit indifferent manners, and in the drawings only such connections areillustrated, as permit the use of an ordinary transmitter 8 anda sourceof a small electrical current to vary a powerful sending current. InFig. 1 the transmitter is connected in series with ter energizes theblow out coil 5 and decreases the radiation of the main current, or thetransmitter 8 may be connected 1n SBIIGS with the filament, the battery6 and a resistance 13, causingradiation of the main current, as Fig. 2illustrates. .Fig. 3 illustrates the transmitter in series with thesmall generator 7 and field coil 7 of the main generator 7 Thetransmitter varies the magnetism in the field magnet of the maingenerator, thus varying currents in increased to a considerable time.
